Orders
This one’s tough. If you received an email saying that your order shipped, then we cannot cancel your order. It means it has already left our warehouse and it is in the good graces of the carriers. If it has not shipped, and you wish to change or cancel an order after you’ve submitted it, please email our Community Experience team at customercare@notreallystrangers.com.
Once your package has left our warehouse, your tracking information will be emailed to you. Make sure to check it daily.
